Dissent no longer tolerated in US

If you aren’t outraged and if you don’t think this can happen in your State, you are a big part of the problem. BTW - the woman assaulted for exercising her 1st amendment right to question government and assaulted by unidentified men at the direction of the government was a medical doctor. https://www.ktvb.com/article/news/local/woman-forcibly-removed-from-kootenai-county-republican-town-hall-idaho-politics/277-904f755d-05f6-4822-9592-ec41dc030df3

... Read moreDissent, an essential element of democracy, is increasingly coming under threat in the United States. Events like the recent forcible removal of a woman from a Republican town hall meeting in Idaho illustrate the climate of fear that discourages individuals from voicing dissenting opinions. This incident raises fundamental questions about free speech and government accountability. The First Amendment of the U.S. Constitution guarantees the right to peacefully assemble and express dissent. However, when individuals who exercise these rights face hostility or violence, as witnessed in Idaho, it sends a chilling message that dissent is no longer welcome. Understanding the implications of such actions is crucial for all citizens. It is vital that we recognize our role in protecting these rights—not only for ourselves but for the health of our democracy itself. Amidst growing tensions in various political environments, we must remain vigilant and advocate for civil liberties. Engaging in dialogue, community activism, and supporting organizations dedicated to defending free speech can help counteract this trend. The consequences of silencing dissent are profound and far-reaching. As citizens, we must unite and safeguard the principles of liberty and justice that this nation was built upon.

Awful! The speaker had primed the crowd as she was being forcibly removed, and they cheered. A blatant assault on someone exercising her first amendment right to speak!

Healing changes your standards. Things you once tolerated begin to feel impossible to accept because growth teaches you what peace, respect, and real effort actually look like. When you heal, confusion becomes unattractive, chaos becomes exhausting, and bare minimum treatment no longer feels enough

The Healed Version of You Responds Differently 🤍
Healing is realizing that not every situation deserves your energy anymore. The old version of me reacted fast, explained too much, and carried emotions that were never mine to hold. But growth looks like silence, self-control, protecting your peace, and letting God handle what’s trying to disturb

✨You’re Not Too Much…You’re Becoming Aware🤍✨🌸
There comes a point in healing where you don’t recognize yourself anymore. Not because you’re lost… but because you’re no longer willing to be who you had to be to survive. You start noticing things you once tolerated. You feel things you once buried. You question things you once accepted
